TGI. . .Carp: Thurs. Aug. 9, 2007

Hi guys!<br><br>
Sorry to rub it in, but it is magnificent here. Just completely stunningly gorgeous. 60s maybe, sunny, big white fluffy clouds. No humidity. *sigh*. And I'm stuck at work looking out. Actually, I have to run over the Countway, so I get to go outside. I think I'll walk over.<br><span style="font-size:xx-small;">(esp since I didn't run last night...DH got home and well, we took Pacer's suggested evening plans to heart.)</span><br><br><b>Prae</b>: take everyone's advice, but don't freak out if the adrenaline and the crowds don't work to your advantage your first race. I'm one of the only people here that does worse in races than on my own. I panic. My nerves get jangly. I start too slow and then ended up having a mental break down at some point and walk. I've said it before, but i'm my own worst enemy. I don't have the same "failure is not an option" gene that everyone else has...but I always finish a race. I think you are doing so well, you're going to surprise yourself.<br><br><b>LLEarPlugs</b>: I buy all my friends Dan Zanes cds...just so they have something to play for their kids that isn't mindnumbing. <b>Fort hose</b> who are unaware, Zanes is the former frontman of the Del Fuegos who now does kid friendly, world/fusion/blues/rock music. He's good and has great guests on stage and on his cds. And no Aussies in primary colors in sight.<br><br><b>High Heat</b>, ready for us wimmins? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br><b>Frankie</b>, how you doin'? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink"><br><br><b>QOD</b>: Actually, I probably write faster, just because I make a lot of mistakes when I type and I make the changes while typing. I've never been a good typist.<br>
A quick story: when I got my first real job out of library school, I went to work at the Boston public business library. One of the things I had to do there was index directories and create record cards for our inhouse catalog, separate from the online system. Much more indepth and specialized cataloging at our branch. Anyway, I had to type cards. On a type writer. A 1940's manual upright. It used to take me hours to get them done, since I was an awful typist and I'd never typed on a manual before. When I was given an electric (progress!), I banged the keys for the longest time!<br><br>
Shoot, I know I wanted to say more. But I've forgotten.<br><br>
Gotta run...I have to get going.<br><br>
Moe

She's down the Cape for the week. Hopefully her tooth went with her.

Yes, but she won't have to pay for a least a few of us to get there. Well, she can pay my T fare if she wants. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br><i><span style="font-size:xx-small;">T--really, you are so much better looking than the Lost guy. And he's mean, man, mean. Maybe you could be George for a while? Or my man, Clive Owen? Even Mr Craig...oh how I love a man in the right swim trunks...</span></i>

That guy's mean and creepy. *sigh* Fine, be that way. There's no winning with you. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Sad"><br><br><span style="font-size:xx-small;"><i>And I think <span style="text-decoration:underline;">I'm</span> the one with self esteem issues...good looking guy like that playing around like he's an ugly one...gees....</i></span>

Um, something wrong, Winter? You didn't get <i>Dianed</i>, did you?

Um. No. Mr Clooney. On my laminated list.

I'll say this much, T, at least GC isn't creeping me out. Grossing me out, maybe but not creeping me out. I chuckled...that's enough.

Michelle, have I mention that Trouble and Ray Lamontagne in general are two of my absolute faves? I run to 3 More Days all the time.

I think it's just as well I can't see most pics here at work...but as it is, I wash my hands of you. You are not playing fair...all I ask is your (or any) pretty face next to your name and I get grief, just grief. You win. Have it your way. Far be it from me to ask the The Coach to appease me. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Sad"><br><br><span style="font-size:xx-small;">(I am kidding. I don't really care what your avatar is, I just don't like the Lost guy. We're good.)</span>

<span style="font-size:large;">OK, now that is freaking me out....what the f*&^ is THAT?????<br><br>
Winter, please stop...I'm going to have nightmares!!!!</span><br><br>
Maples, please, a kitty pic!!!!! Quick!

Ahhh, I love me some Clive. Thanks...you're the best.

I'm in love with all the soulful white guys out there now: Ray, Paolo Nutini, James Morrison. Damn fine music.

OMG, that is funny...since I do that all the time.

Thanks for the kitty and baby pic, Maples!!!!

Sadly, I can't see these pix at work....

<span style="font-size:x-large;">You're a dork.</span><br><br><span style="font-size:x-large;"><span style="font-size:xx-small;">that's why I like you.</span></span><br>

meeeeowwww.

My own avatar is starting to creep me out. I need to find something else.

did you go directly to <a href="http://www.simpsonizeme.com?" target="_blank">www.simpsonizeme.com?</a>

He's great in everything. I first fell in lust seeing him in Gosford Park. *sigh*
